Find Your Differentiator

Defining Leaders With Kristin Gupta

In today’s episode, Kristin is joined by Katie Conley, Fabio Bonacquisto, Sara Deacon, Wendy Terwelp and Rich Grobelny to talk about finding what’s unique about us. It’s important to embrace our unique personalities and traits in order for us to grow more. We sometimes forget to appreciate the things we are great at because of all the things happening around us. The group begins by talking about the importance of knowing your differentiator.

As the conversation gets deeper, they talk about vulnerability and how it contributes to knowing your differentiator. It can be scary to be vulnerable sometimes but it’s also important in knowing your true self. Being vulnerable can help you find out who you are as a person.

The conversation ends with each sharing their differentiators to the group.

Episode Highlights

02:04 So when we talk about differentiators, I really want to make sure that we're focused on ourselves as a whole being, and what sets us apart, not just what we do, because what we can do can change but who we are is the core of that.

04:10 I noticed that when someone has an example of how that other person perceives themselves, they're able to start to compartmentalize and figure out exactly who they are, and sometimes it's that extra push.

08:30 I think it's really important to realize that you're, you're one person, you know, and you're a whole person. And it's important to not only self-reflect on who you are, but also to gain some perspective of how others see you.

14:14 We see different aspects of who we are, but we still have a core, that driving force behind what we do. How often do we do things that maybe aren't right for us because we don't know what that course is?

19:33 Our tone can also convey command or leadership that way so there's some different attributes that we're learning in the face of the pandemic to really rely on our other strengths.

22:13 All of us have the potential, we have the potential to do anything we want and if we take that attribute right there, and start learning and doing whatever we want, we can become whatever we want.
